Square Foot Gardening
 
Having never grown food before, I going to give this a try as it doesn't
seem to labor intensive. A few questions:

Is this really legit?

Is 6 inches enough for the roots?

What vegetables are not compatible with this system?

Thanks

My father in law swears by this method. It really works, and I use a lot of
the techniques in my veggie garden. I've grown everything from radish to
broccoli this way.
Get the book, it will help a lot.

Sure is! A LOT of folks do it and it really works.

For the most part. 6-12 is ideal.

I can't think of any of hand....corn will even grow using the system if
you plant enough to pollinate. 1 per sqaure foot for corn,
peppers,tomatos.


Thanks
